Dr Andrew Ehmke

Dr. Andrew Ehmke specializes in minimally invasive robotic hip & knee replacement. Dr Ehmke has published research and has presented it at national meetings.

Dr Ehmke is a fellowship trained joint replacement surgeon specializing in minimally invasive robotic hip and knee replacement. He did his fellowship at the world renowned Rubin Institute of Advanced Orthopedics in Baltimore, MD. Dr Ehmke uses the latest techniques in joint replacement including robotic assisted joint replacement, the muscle sparing anterior approach to hip replacement, 3D printed custom knee replacements and outpatient joint replacements. These advanced techniques allow his patients to not only have a shorter recovery with less pain, but also give them a joint replacement that feels more natural. In addition, Dr Ehmke has specialized training in evaluating and treating previous joint replacements that are painful. Dr Ehmke also does complicated joint replacement cases such as patients with prior surgery on their hip or knee, or born with unique anatomy. Dr Ehmke also takes care of other conditions of the knee that may be done with an arthroscopic procedure, such as meniscus tears of the knee. He has also served as faculty for national courses to teach residents how to do hip and knee replacements.
